The principle of dominance is derived from Mendel's conclusions. Which of the following describes the law of segregation? Some alleles of a gene are dominant, and others are recessive
If the recessive allele appears on one of the genes, the offspring will display the trait
Both dominant alleles need to be present for the offspring to inherit the dominant trait
Only 1
1, 2, and 3
2 and 3
1 and 2

Only 1

Explanation:

"Some alleles of a gene are dominant, and others are recessive" is the only true statement here. The other two, "If the recessive allele appears on one of the genes, the offspring will display the trait" and "Both dominant alleles need to be present for the offspring to inherit the dominant trait" can each be ruled out easily with the former being that both recessive alleles have to appear for the offspring to display the trait and the latter being that a dominant and a recessive can work with the dominant still showing.

the answer is c) an oak tree

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
